    Hi, when I was visiting friends in Ireland, they had this really cute houseplant, but nobody knows the name. I would like to get one myself.

    Attached is a photo. They propagated a baby of it and that one has really taken off. the little vines are up to 6 feet long. She has it on her mantle and it drapes really nicely across it and down the sides. It also has little beads, greyish in color, that my friend says are a seed. There were only a few of them. The beads are about 1/2" in diameter.

    If anybody could help me, I'd aprpeciate it. Thanks!

    Aimee

    Looks like it might be a Kidney weed (Dichondra micrantha) ?

    The attractive plants have rounded, fan-shaped, silver foliage on cascading, silver stems. It is heat and drought tolerant, which makes it an excellent choice for hanging baskets and containers. Plants grow to 1m (3.3ft) long, producing a waterfall-like effect. It prefers light shade to full sun and requires regular to abundant watering.

    It's called String of Hearts and if you Google Ceropegia woodii you can find care info. on it.
